We used to meet up at the park
We knew the shortcuts off by heart
Raced to the top of the swing set
To escape the town that we lived in
We fell in love in the middle of nowhere
I always hated that small town
I couldn't wait 'til I got out
Couldn't drive but I had some car keys
And you promised you would come with me
But you stayed in the middle of nowhere
Tell me how we ended up miles apart
With nothing in my bag and only half a heart
I knew that it was stupid, but I just needed a change
Now part of me is sitting in the place we met
The front seat of your car smelled like cigarettes
I guess I kinda loved it 'cause it's etched inside my brain
I tried to change, to be someone new
So I went to Paris to be in a city
That's time zones away, now I'm up 'til two
I made it all the way, but it's no use
My heart's in the middle of nowhere with you
I'm pacing up and down the street
See you in everyone I meet
And this city's so much bigger
Than the way it looked in pictures
But there's still a chance that you'll find me
Tell me how we ended up miles apart
With nothing in my bag and only half a heart
I knew that it was stupid, but I just needed a change
Now part of me is sitting in the place we met
The front seat of your car smelled like cigarettes
I guess I kinda loved it 'cause it's etched inside my brain
I tried to change, to be someone new
So I went to Paris to be in a city
That's time zones away, now I'm up 'til two
I made it all the way, but it's no use
My heart's in the middle of nowhere with you
(We used to meet up at the park)
My heart's in the middle of nowhere with you
(We knew that shortcuts are behind)
My heart's in the middle of nowhere with you
(Raised to the top of the swing set
To escape the town that we lived in)
We fell in love in the middle of nowhere
